I'd like to be prepared just in case Mandarin Chinese becomes a global language. Also, I developed a sudden but deep interest in Chinese traditions, habits, and culture.

I want improve my Chinese to point where I can easily have conversations.
At least learn the basics of the Chinese language.
I'm ethnically Chinese. I should probably try it.
China is one of the most powerful and influential nations in the world. There are also a lot of Chinese people in the USA. I would like to learn the language to communicate effectively.
It's a popular language, and I've always been embarrassed about the fact that I can't speak it.
